Is marriage a patriarchal institution? Much feminist scholarship has characterized it that way, but now in the context of the recent Massachusetts Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage, the meaning of marriage itself demands serious re-examination. This course will discuss history, literature, film, and legal scholarship, making use of cross-cultural, sociological, anthropological, and many other theoretical approaches to the marriage question from 1630 to the present. As it turns out, sex, marriage, and the family have never been stable institutions; to the contrary, they have continued to function as flash points for the very social and cultural questions that are central to gender studies scholarship.

Recognizing the importance and relevance of both "technologies of play" generally and video games specifically in teaching about the relationships between technology and gender, we created an interactive pedagogical tool for use in undergraduate classes. The interface is designed to assist in organizing information on the gendered analysis of video games, to provide examples, and to anticipate conflict that may develop in and among learners. On this site, we demonstrate the significance of gender in the realm of video games and explain why the relationship is important. Additionally, the site encourages learners to understand the various factors that contribute to the acceptance or rejection of such a gendered critique.

Download the app for your device and start reading for free.‘This book was converted from its physical edition to the digital format by a community of volunteers.’'The Woman's Bible, written by famous 19th Century feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton and a "Revising Committee״, is one of the first attempts by women to evaluate the Judeo-Christian legacy and its impact on women through history. Stanton concluded that 'the Bible in its teachings degrades Women from Genesis to Revelation'. However she and the other contributors found much to admire in the Bible, particularly some of the Old Testament women. While many of her views are still controversial, time and advances in womens' rights have lessened some of the shock value of this book. Stanton doesn't go as far as some modern feminist theologians and proclaim 'God is a woman', but there are several contributions which discuss the gender of the 'Elohim' and the female aspects of the Kabbalah.'

This oral history project was inspired by Anne Firor Scott who described how it could be done on the H-Women listserv... and challenged her readers to do it in the classroom. My intro WS students loved doing this project - some did better than others though, so I didn't put them all up online. When the students (and their family members) saw the results online and knew that the oral history tapes were placed in the University Oral History archives for future scholars to use them in their research -- they were so proud! This teaching and learning experience meant so much to them and me. I recommend you try it.
